Go to Fiverr, find people who leave reviews for accounts, purchase the gig, link them to the product you want reviewed.
Can they "easily" track this? What in the world makes you think they would know? Some random person halfway across the world reviews an item you just so happen to be selling?
Unless you created the detail page and/or you're the only seller, there's nothing suspicious about it. I have done it many times myself. Do NOT EVER use your own account(s) to leave reviews though. Too easy to make mistakes.
And never buy reviews from the same person twice. One review per person, period. Follow this and you'll be perfectly fine. But remember to space out the reviews by several days and don't have anyone review something that you are the only seller of. Otherwise it's impossible to tie it to you.
Oh, and almost forgot to mention, obviously DO NOT provide Amazon gift cards, coupons, etc for their services. If you have to pay them, use PayPal, because not only are they not associated, but they hate each other. PayPal would never sell you out to Amazon. Never use the same payment method as the thing you're trying to buy. DO NOT request they purchase the product, ESPECIALLY not from you!
Other than that, just use common sense and stop being paranoid. |
